Timeline
Roy Lindley DeVecchio (born April 18, 1940) is a former U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent in charge of managing mob informants.
He was also responsible for handling Gregory Scarpa, a Colombo capo who had secretly been an FBI informant since the 1960s.
DeVecchio worked for the FBI during the Mafia wars in New York during the 1980s and 1990s, eventually rising to head of the FBI squad responsible for surveillance of the Colombo crime family.
Evidence allegedly surfaced that DeVecchio had given Scarpa tips on how to track down soldiers backing Victor Orena's effort to take over the Colombo family during the Third Colombo War (1991–93); Scarpa sided with longtime boss Carmine Persico.
DeVecchio is believed to be the first FBI agent accused of helping a mobster commit crimes and cover them up.
The FBI conducted a two-year internal probe, but ultimately decided not to press charges against DeVecchio.
After Scarpa pleaded guilty to racketeering charges in 1993, former Colombo consigliere Carmine Sessa, who had recently turned informer, tipped off prosecutors about Scarpa's unusual relationship with DeVecchio.
Eventually, prosecutors uncovered circumstantial evidence that DeVecchio had leaked confidential information to Scarpa on numerous occasions.
Reportedly, DeVecchio had told Scarpa about several former Colombo members who had turned informer.
He was suspected of alerting Scarpa that he was being bugged, and that his son was about to be arrested for drug trafficking.
Nonetheless, his reputation was affected, and he retired in 1996.
Although DeVecchio was cleared of wrongdoing by his superiors, 19 soldiers from the Orena faction had their convictions reversed or charges thrown out after their lawyers contended DeVecchio's actions cast doubt on the evidence against them.
The lawyers contended that DeVecchio actively helped Scarpa hunt down and kill opponents, thus making many of the deaths caused by their clients acts of self-defense.
They contended DeVecchio had manufactured evidence.
In 2006, Brooklyn district attorney Charles Hynes indicted DeVecchio on charges that he had helped Scarpa kill four people in the 1980s and early 1990s through supplying confidential FBI information about them.
The case was based almost entirely on the testimony of Scarpa's longtime girlfriend, Linda Schiro.
However, the case imploded in the fall of 2007 when Tom Robbins of The Village Voice came forward with an interview he and mob expert Jerry Capeci had conducted with Schiro in 1997, in which Schiro denied that DeVecchio had been involved in most of the murders.
Robbins and Capeci had interviewed Schiro for a book they had initially planned to write, and had promised Schiro that her revelations would not appear in a news article or be attributed to her.
However, Robbins said, the prospect of DeVecchio facing life in prison trumped any promises they had made to Schiro.
This forced prosecutors to move for a dismissal of charges against DeVecchio, which was granted on November 1, 2007.
A retired judge was appointed special prosecutor in 2008 to examine whether Scarpa's former girlfriend, Linda Schiro, had committed perjury but his report concluded that her interview tape was insufficient to prove perjury.
DeVecchio co-authored a book, published in 2011, about his experiences.
